Transmittance of Gaussian Beam in Anisotropic Jet Engine Exhaust Turbulence

Abstract

Transmittance is a metric that provides information on how much of the intensity is transferred to the receiver for a given medium. One of the definitions of transmittance is the ratio of the average received intensity in the presence of turbulence to the received intensity in the absence of turbulence. Under such definition, transmittance is found in an anisotropic jet engine exhaust turbulent environment. For various receiver points, transmittances versus the wireless optical communication (WOC) link and anisotropic jet engine exhaust turbulence parameters are presented. The results are useful for designers of WOC links that are installed in the premises such as the airports that possess jet engine exhaust turbulence.
